Features: Based on the short stories read by the author in 2006, those that can truly place the creative subject's mind and emotions into the lives of the lower-class characters, successfully stirring up their living forms, and showcasing the narrative intelligence of the writer include: Su Tong's The Story of Picking Up an Infant, Feng Jicai's The Wife Who Lifts Her Head and the Husband Who Bows His Head, and Wang Xiangfu's The Vegetable Garden. These are writings where the creative subject is "mentally present." Their narratives consciously avoid overly superficial existence, revealing the aesthetic intentions of the creative subject. That is to say, they both respect all consensual experiences and adhere to their own unique thinking, making the narrative shine with intellectual brilliance. This book is a writing filled with sentiment, a writing that confronts the challenges of contemporary life, a call to the values of modern intellectuals, and a demonstration of our writers' moral pursuit based on conscience and belief.
